BITTER CHOCOLATE, CARAMELISED WALNUT PARFAIT by Surendra Negi, Master Patissier at Taj Palace, New Delhi

INGREDIENTS

* 52% Dark Chocolate 250 gm

* Fresh Cream 125ml

* Whipping Cream (Cold) 200ml

* Chocolate Ice Cream 300 gm

* Walnuts 50 gm

* Caster Sugar 40 gm

METHOD

* Chop the chocolate, and place in a large bowl.

* Bring the cream to a boil, and pour over the chocolate, mixing the two with a rubber spatula till well incorporated.

Allow this ganache to cool. Reserve a third of it for plating, and mix in the rest with the ice cream.

* Whip the cream until it has soft peaks. Fold into the chocolate mixture, and place in the freezer to allow it to rest.

* For the caramelised walnuts, toast the walnuts in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes. Allow them to

cool completely, and place in a bowl near the stove. Next to this, place a tray lined with baking paper and two forks.

* In a thick-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar till it is a light amber colour for about 4-5 minutes, stirring gently throughout. As soon as the caramel is ready, add in the walnuts, mixing thoroughly to ensure each is coated well. Working fast, turn this onto the tray, and, using the forks, separate the walnuts. This will be extremely hot, so be careful not to touch them at this stage. Allow to cool.

* To serve, spoon your bitter chocolate parfait into your desired bowls, pipe in the reserved ganache using a piping bag and a star nozzle, and scatter some caramelised walnuts on top.

* Serve chilled.
